## Description

Managing payouts for sports officials shouldn't involve manual spreadsheets or constant math errors. This MCP gives your AI client the specific logic needed to handle referee compensation across different regions and experience levels. You can use it to pull standard regional fees or calculate exactly what an official is owed after a certain number of matches. It accounts for tiered pay structures where rates change as officials hit higher match volumes. If you need to calculate final payouts that include volume-based bonuses, the MCP handles those calculations directly. It's a precise way to bridge the gap between match logs and actual payments.
